The process stream data for a heat recovery network problem is given in Table 1.
Table 1 Stream Data Stream Type Supply Temp. Ts ( o C) Target Temp. Tt ( o C) Heat Capacity Flowrate (kW/ o C) 1 Cold 60 180 3.0 2 Hot 180 40 2.0 3 Cold 30 150 2.2 4 Hot 140 40 4.0
By using Tmin = 10 o C, design a maximum energy recovery network.
Question 2.
The stream data for a heat recovery network problem is given in Table 2.
Table 2 Stream Data Stream Type Supply Temp. Ts ( o C) Target Temp. Tt ( o C) Heat Capacity Flowrate (kW/ o C) 1 Cold 80 100 3 2 Cold 40 120 5 3 Cold 40 100 1.5 4 Hot 150 60 2 5 Hot 140 70 4
By using Tmin of 20 o C; i) Perform the Problem Table Analysis for energy targeting. ii) Design a M.E.R network. iii) If a cold stream is added to the data in Table 2 of the following characteristics:
Stream Type Supply Temp. Ts ( o C) Target Temp. Tt ( o C) Heat Capacity Flowrate (kW/ o C) 6 Cold 30 70 1.0
What effect will this have on QHmin, Qcmin and the pinch temperature? iv) Design a network for M.E.R including the new cold stream
Question 3. For the process stream data given in Table 4. Table 4 Stream Type Supply Temp. Ts ( o C) Target Temp. Tt ( o C) Heat Capacity Flowrate (kW/ o C) 1 Cold 160 400 1.5 2 Hot 400 120 1.0 3 Cold 100 320 1.3 4 Hot 340 120 2
By using Tmin of 20 o C; i) Complete a Problem Table Analysis to determine QHmin, QCmin and the pinch location. ii) Design a M.E.R. network with the corresponding minimum number of units.
Question 4 The data in Table 3 represents a simplified petrochemicals process. Table 3 Stream Data Stream Type Supply Temp. Ts ( o C) Target Temp. Tt ( o C) Heat Capacity Flowrate (kW/ o C) 1 Cold 18 123 0.933 2 Cold 118 193 1.961 3 Cold 189 286 1.796 4 Hot 267 80 0.204 5 Hot 159 77 2.285 6 Hot 343 90 0.538
By using Tmin of 10 o C; Design a heat exchanger network for maximum energy recovery with the corresponding minimum number of units (Hint: below the pinch, stream splitting may be necessary away from the pinch to avoid loops and therefore more than the minimum number of units)
